How am I not myself?

This blog serves as a therapy, stress relief, and the occasional sanity check, as we go through the long process of adopting a child. Many posts discuss the process of open adoption, my thoughts about “waiting”, and what I’m doing to prepare for parenthood. Of course, some are just rants or discussions about random crap. Enjoy!

Leaps and Bounds! November 10, 2009

Filed under: Adoption — mdlasure @ 12:51 pm

Nicholas is now 3 1/2 months old and is growing like a weed! In the last week, he has started teething, trying to roll over, and making all sorts of vowel sounds. He is also smiling with his mouth wide open and trying to laugh out loud. I love it!

Today, during tummy time, he was pushing up on his arms (new) AND he pulled his knees up and started to propel himself forward! AMAZING! Also, when held standing up, he keeps his feet flat on the floor instead of the usual up on his toes stance. This kid is going to be crawling and walking before we know it!

I am in constant awe of this little man, and thank the stars every night for bringing him to us. I feel like the luckiest person in the world! I’ll be posting more pics tonight, so check the gallery for a new album…
